Year-round allergies, also called perennial allergies or indoor allergies, are a result of coming into contact with something that you’re allergic to, regardless of the season.

If you’re always sniffling and sneezing, you may think of your home as your place to escape and recuperate from what seems like an endless cold. But some things hidden in your home may actually be the cause of your symptoms.

Common year-round allergy symptoms are similar to most other allergies, which include:

• Itchy, stuffy nose;
• Runny nose;
• Sneezing;
• Itchy, watery, swollen, bloodshot eyes;
• Scratchy, swollen throat;
• Coughing;
• Wheezing;
• Tightness in the chest.
